Winners
First-half running game/Ezekiel Elliott: For one half of football, it looked like the 2016 Cowboys were back. Dallas was running the ball again, moving it up and down the field, and using a complementary passing game to put 24 points on the board. Ezekiel Elliott was a serious threat again, and even had a hand in the passing game out of the backfield. Alfred Morris pitched in with a huge 70-yard run. Unfortunately, it didn’t last.
First-half defense: If it wasn’t for special teams blunders (see below), the Cowboys defense could have only given up six points in the first half. They would hold the Rams offense under control for the most part, and the Cowboys should have gone into halftime with a much larger lead. Unfortunately, it didn’t last.
Dez Bryant - Although he and Dak Prescott still don’t seem to be entirely on the same page, Bryant provided the Cowboys with their only legitimate receiving threat in the game besides Elliott. He had five catches for 98 yards. Jason Witten was a non-factor and Cole Beasley’s disappearance from the offense is one of the season’s big mysteries.
